Watch: How this company is stopping country bleed plastics every day

Over a billion of these non-biodegradable sanitary napkins are being dumped in landfills and sewerage systems in the country. And there is no source of decomposition for about 400-500 years.

These plastic based sanitary napkins have been causing harm to both – the environment and health. Every used sanitary napkin carries two grams of non-biodegradable plastic, So the amount of non-biodegradable plastic accumulated every month is very high a factor strong enough to raise concern over the crisis which environment is facing currently.

However, Heyday founder has answers to both the environment and health issues. Deepanjali Kanoria started her company Heyday a biodegradable sanitary napkin, in October 2017.
